Not really a trick, but it's best to save up enough time to always pass 6 AM before hunting. Anything before 1 AM is wasted, and anything after 6 AM as well. Even then, it can take weeks of hunting to find one, depending on your luck.

Hmm, I never even looked into those ultra rares before. The Kraken? Never come up against it either in 50+ retcons. Is that something similar to the pegasus where you have to be there at the right time/day?

The Kraken is totally random and can happen at any time. It's just in an area that you only spend a few hours in each retcon so your chance of encountering it is very low.

I have alts farming rares for the last month. In that time I've found 3 computer friends, 1 abaddon charm, and 0 Best Memory disks. That's 0 Best Memory disks in about 6 months of trying to farm one up, too. Goes to show how random those things really are.

Unless things have changed in 3 years (they may have) the kraken isn't *quite* so completely random, in a way that may cause problems for dedicated retconners. When I coded it I was either being nice or being evil, and 7 years later I'm still not really sure.
